This is a blog for Texas State students taking FCS 4347 (Family Policy) to be able to post their weekly reading assignment (3 newspaper articles about issues or policies that effect individuals and families) and to write their reactions, opinions and implications of the articles.

4.Importance/effect on families/individuals: This article concerns everyone
across the globe since chemical weapons can be used anywhere against
individuals. The U.N. passed a resolution for Syria to surrender their weapons,
therefore if Syria does not comply with the resolution there will be
consequences affecting not only people in Syria but also people in countries
nearby and people in the United States.

My input:
In this article, it is stated that the U.N. has confirmed the following
resolution for Syria, Syria “shall not use, develop, produce, otherwise
acquire, stockpile or retain chemical weapons,” or transfer them to others.
After this resolution was passed, weapon inspectors are entering Syria next
week to dismantle and audit Syria’s stockpile. In my opinion this resolution
that was passed is better than Obama’s previous plan to declare war to Syria.
This resolution will not affect many individuals as a war would and it will
benefit many people in Syria. Even though penalties have not been discussed
yet, the U.N.’s resolution is the first step to a good outcome after this
horrific event.
